Dear Dorothy, I am so saddened by your loss. I know how tough this must be for you especially after just losing your beloved daughter. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am spending the winter in California so will be unable to see you but you have my deepest condolences. Take care of yourself and lean on your faith, family and friends for strength during this time. Your friend, Greg Riley
I have known Dick my entire life and I have very fond memories of dropping fish and snaping turtles off at his house with my dad and cousin after nights of trot lining. He was always full of life and laughs. I remember always seeing him at every auction that I have ever been to. He was a great guy and I will miss seeing him when I drive by his house.
Both Janet and I are sorry to learn about the passing of Richard. I always enjoyed talking with him at Gerhart family reunions. Wish I would have done more at the time! Our thoughts and prayers are with Dorothy and the rest of Richard’s family. Best regards,
So very sorry to hear of your 2nd loss this year – may God bless you!
